Recently I had a task to replace disk in veritas, I had 72gb FC drive and I needed to replace it with 146gb FC drive to gain some additional space in my V880 server. Server has 6 internal disks. I cannot just pull disk out of V880, I have to use luxadm to offline it.

First step is to identify the Enclosure in your V880 server, to accomplish this task I need to run luxadm probe

# luxadm probe

Converting Database Files to Use Quick I/O
Wow, this subject seems somewhat out of place and it is, but nevertheless friends stumble on this problem; the problem of converting your existing database files to use the Veritas QIO ‘filesystem’. I wrote this text over one year ago, for internal use at work, but now I thought that I should post it on my site.

You can convert your existing Sybase database files to use the Quick I/O interface by using the qio_getdbfiles and qio_convertdbfiles commands. These commands are special utilities provided with the VERITAS Database Edition for Sybase (or Oracle) product:

qio_getdbfiles extracts a list of file names from the database system tables.

qio_convertdbfiles converts the list of database files to use Quick I/O.
